Bridge Education
Similar to 2024, we will be running two streams of Bridge education in 2025. The Beginner classes commenced 18th March (Tuesday evenings at 7pm) and the Improver classes commenced April 3rd (Thursday evenings at 7pm). We have decided to move the Beginner Lessons to an alternate evening to open up the possibility of new members being able to join incase there were conflicts with other mid week activities on a Thursday.
We have had a great response to both classes this year with 16-18 learners under the tutelage of Maureen Nelson, and 3-4 tables of our members for the Improver classes under the guidance of Linda Thornton, Christine Egelmeer and our Patron Lynne Geursen.
Both classes have kicked off in earnest and the feedback thus far has been excellent!
